At the top right where all the drop down menus are is all jumbled together. I cannot use them at all. I have to go to the bottom, select a category and wander 'round 'til I find what I need. I know I did something dumb 'cause this is on the box I've been using for ten years...

PC, WIN 10

Anyone???

ETA: Everything else on my front page displays fine.....just the dropdown menu's wonky.

Have you tried another browser?

No, because that's not what's wrong with it. This is something that happened recently and as I stated, I've been using what I have, it its entirety for a decade.

I think it's something in the display, but it doesn't seem to be global, just that one aspect of the page.

I can access anything else on the page and doesn't matter what part of the site I'm on, I cannot get that dropdown menu where I can read the options.

I'm not a computer guy but I have these spikes of competence where I can at least go through the flow chart and eliminate some possibilities.....but that doesn't quite tell me what I could try next.

It's also ONLY DP CHALLENGE that I have *any* issue with, no other sites.

I'm just wondering if it's the WIN 10 "No Updates" thing that was supposed to go into effect yet I understand that's off.

Hmm. Have you tried dumping your cache on the browser, logging out of DPC, and coming back in?

Also, a screen grab of what you're seeing would be helpful (especially if the above action doesn't clear it).

Thanks.

DPC logged me out today.

I had to log back in. That never happens.

No problem, I'm just mentioning it because I read this.

How do I screen grab a malfunctioning dropdown menu?

You could use the Snipping Tool (Windows 11). Select a Delay, hit New, then mouse-over the DPC drop-down menu that is the problem. Keep the mouse over that menu and when the delay for the Snipping Tool kicks in you'll be able to capture the menu.



ETA - example ==>

Okay.... I appreciate that you're trying to help, but since it isn't obvious to you what my issue is, please let it go, 'cause I'm not gonna go through a bunch of irrelevant stuff trying to work it out. I realize I may not get the answer here....I was just trying in case someone would see this and go, "Yeah, here's what ya need to do.".

Thank you for trying.

As I stated previously, I HAVE WIN 10!

Sniping Tool is available on Win 10 also.

Send Mita a PM then. I was trying to do the upfront troubleshooting he’s going to need / ask as well.
